Cosplay Photography Tutorials to Help You Shoot Like a Pro

When you want to showcase your costume and give your hard work all the attention it deserves, you have to find a photographer to work with. Maybe you have a friend with a decent camera and a great eye. Or maybe you want to become that friend so you can photograph your pals’ cosplays. Celtic Ruin’s Costumes is here to help with that goal with a couple of how-to videos. They go over equipment, location scouting, posing and directing other people for posing, and editing. It’s very helpful information you can take and try out immediately. Even if you don’t have a “nice” camera, you can still learn and try out the process.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
